Description
At first glance, the nose, which is the first major adjustment made to the Yaris hatchback since its 2007 model-year debut, seems almost disproportionate to its diminutive size. The air intake, especially, appears larger than what you’ll find on any other passenger car in Toyota’s fleet and contributes an extra two inches in overall length. Toyota claims it wanted to give the Yaris “just the right touch of mean in its look.” Mean? Well, maybe.
